    Hello craigmacau,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    If you have to manually refresh your iCloud Calendar in order for it to sync, then I'd like you to follow the directions below, testing after each step.

     

    Check your default Calendar account 

    If you store and edit your events using your iCloud account instead of a third-party account, like Google or Yahoo, iCloud will automatically update your calendars.

    In iOS 7 or later, see which calendar account your events are updating through:

    1. Open the Calendar app on your device and tap an event to view Event Details. 
    2. Tap the calendar name to see if the event is updating through an iCloud calendar.

    If your device uses multiple accounts like iCloud, Google, and Yahoo, make sure your iCloud calendar is the default Calendar account:

    1. On your device, tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Default Calendar. 
    2. Tap an iCloud calendar to make it your default Calendar account.

    Change your sync settings

    1. Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    2. Under Calendars, tap Sync. If Sync is set to All Events, set it to a specific timeframe, such as Events 1 Month Back. If it's already set to a specific duration, set it to All Events.
    3. Tap the Home button. 
    4. Wait several minutes. Open Calendar, tap Calendars, and pull down to refresh.

    Restart Calendar

    Close and restart the Calendar app on your iOS device.

    iOS 7 or later:

    1. Double-click the Home button to see your open apps.
    2. Find the Calendar preview screen and swipe it up to close the app.
    3. Press the Home button to return to your Home screen.
    4. Wait a minute, then reopen the Calendar app.

    Turn off iCloud Calendar and turn it back on

    1. Tap Settings > iCloud.
    2. Turn off Calendar.
    3. You can choose Delete from My [device] if your data exists on icloud.com/calendar and one or more of your devices. Otherwise, choose Keep on My [device].
    4. Wait a few minutes, then turn Calendar back on.

    Restart your device

    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button, then drag the slider when asked to power off. Turn your device back on.
